Enrichment of multiple myeloma plasma cells for disease monitoring at MGUS and MRD stages

Bone marrow plasma cells characterization is key for diagnosing and monitoring hematologic malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM). In MM patients, plasma cell numbers can vary, from less than 0.01% to as much as 100% of the total cell population, depending on the stage of the disease. Accurate detection and analysis of plasma cells are especially […]

Enhancing Diagnostic Precision in Multiple Myeloma
